FOSSEE Partners

FOSSEE is actively adding new partner institutes to spread the use of Open Source Software in academia, research and industry. Following are the institutes whom we have​ ​ partnered​ ​ with​ ​ so​ ​ far:

Don Bosco Institute of Technology (DBIT), Mumbai, will be extending support and collaboration with FOSSEE, IIT Bombay. This association and involvement will help the faculty members and students to upgrade their knowledge and develop expertise in Free/Open Source Software (FOSS). The main aim of this partnership is to create awareness about GNU/Linux and help other engineering and science colleges to migrate from proprietary platform to Linux platform for their academic and research activities​ ​ and​ ​ also​ ​ provide​ ​ necessary​ ​ training​ ​ and​ ​ support.Objectives:

The objective of this proposal is to start a chapter of FOSSEE at B.M.S College of Engineering, with the guidance and support from IIT Bombay to engage faculty and students of B.M.S College of Engineering and nearby institutions with their specified activities meeting the overall objective of FOSSEE. The chapter aims to promote the FOSSEE​ ​ concepts​ ​ by​ ​ implementing​ ​ different​ ​ activities:

The Shanmugha Arts, Science, Technology & Research Academy (SASTRA) has joined hands with FOSSEE to create awareness and spread the use of free and open source​ ​ tools​ ​ in​ ​ education​ ​ and​ ​ research.

Another institute who have partnered with us is Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai. They are organizing workshops and disseminating information about FOSS to rural government school students. They also are taking efforts to upgrade the training for​ ​ rural​ ​ government​ ​ offices​ ​ in​ ​ villages​ ​ around​ ​ Madurai.

IIT Kharagpur is the first institution to partner with FOSSEE To address the paucity of understandable documentation, IIT Kharagpur has developed documentation for several important open source software engineering tools including Selenium, PlantUML, Milu, Jumble, Jmeter, Eclemma, Cobertura, WATIR, Redmine, and GanttProject. They also conduct​ ​ workshops​ ​ to​ ​ popularise​ ​ FOSS.
